ConclusionĪfter more than five years in development, Solus OS has come a long way from its early beginnings and kept to its promise of becoming an operating system for the “everyman.” Adding a plethora of applications to its software repository, it’s become accommodating for even the most veteran of power users, while at the same time retaining the ability to appeal to a less “nerdy” demographic. It can leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouths of power users. Where you’re used to seeing the terminal emulator, you instead see a clean list of applications and the software manager. After downloading and installing Brave Browser on your Manjaro Linux, search for it in your system applications: When. Lastly, execute the following snap command for installing Brave Browser: sudo snap install brave. Solus seems to attempt to hide all the “techy” stuff from plain view. After installing the snapd, enable the snap communication socket: sudo systemctl enable -now snapd.socket. While it is possible to navigate to configuration files and do the old-fashioned rigmarole of finding those files and, for example, configuring PulseAudio plugins like DysonCompressor, it’s not as feasible as it would be in other distributions. This may feel a bit strange if you’re used to quickly configuring your experience using the conventional Linux methods. This included Brave Browser, Google Chrome, VLC, Libre Office, OpenJDK, Python and many others.Īnother possible turnoff, especially for people who are used to the rugged experience of using the console for almost everything in Linux, is the fact that the experience in Solus is curated to the point where it almost feels wrong to use anything but the UI. That being said, I was able to find all the daily driver applications I could muster in Solus just fine. This means that if you’re unable to find an app you want in the software manager, there’s a very good chance you’re going to have to manually compile it.
